Sex Therapy

Sex is a fundamental and instinctual form of connecting with ourselves and other human beings. It is a drive like any other, including the drive to eat, sleep and procreate. Despite our innate sexual drive and identities, our cultural expectations are often in stark contrast and we have not learned how to embrace our sexual uniqueness and beauty, let alone learned how to talk to partners about what we want, need and desire. 

​

Mismatched desire, libido and arousal in relationships can feel confusing and at times even hurtful. We may find ourselves in partnerships with people who have different preferences regarding sex and relationship styles, and we may find ourselves feeling unsafe because of it. Sex therapy can help us make sense of these confusing subjects. 

 

I have extensive training as a sex educator, counselor and therapist, and am a trauma informed, kink aware provider. I have a specialty certification in couples sex therapy and have a proven track record of helping people build the foundational trust and communication skills needed to enhance their relationship satisfaction and improve their sex lives. My approach includes taking time to work toward identifying your unique sexual identity and building comfort with it, identifying what you need to feel sexually fulfilled in your life and relationships, and ultimately working toward building a deeper understanding and appreciation for how you can find this fulfillment in your partnerships.

 

Sessions can include information on relationship styles and how you can identify what works best for you in your present situation, such as building a sexual connection after children, exploring open relationships, polyamory or considering a return to a monogamous lifestyle, sex therapy can be an important and life changing look at what we need to feel sexually and emotionally fulfilled.
